Welcome to Litsy!

If you like time travel in the Victorian Era, then this is a great series. Book 2, where Melanie, who finds herself in a young maids body and is actually a cop helps the family solve a murder. By the way, the Victorian Era had Emo Hair styles, thus the bingo spot for #ISpyBingoMarch. #SeriesLove24 #ReadAway24 #AwesomeAprilReadathon @Clwojick @TheSpineView @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Book 2 of this series finds several local deaths by poisoning and suspicious they may be connected. Mallory uses her current day knowledge alongside the tools present in Edinburgh past to try to solve it. I‘m really enjoying this series so far and look forward to the next book!

This is the 2nd book in a series about a female detective who is transported back in time to 1869 Scotland. Catapulted into the body of a 19 year old housemaid to a medical examiner, she ends up being his part time assistant. This is a wonderful combination of my two favorite genres, historical fiction & mystery, with a whisper of romance. I found it to be an easy & entertaining read. I do recommend you read “A Rip Through Time“ first though. 4/5

THE POISONER'S RING

I read A RIP THROUGH TIME which is the first in this series and enjoyed it very much.
This one continues with Mallory still stuck in Catriona's body back in 1869. She still lives with Dr Gray and his sister Isla.

I knew where this mystery was going without knowing where it was going the whole time. It's the genius of Kelley Armstrong. Nothing is a surprise, and yet it all surprises. Love it. #25-2023

This second book book in Armstrong‘s A RIP THROUGH TIME series picks up not long after the first. Mallory is still stuck in 19th century Edinburgh in the body of a maid. When poisoned husbands start turning up around town, Mallory & Dr. Gray delve into a fresh investigation that soon takes a turn closer to home. Not quite as humorous as the first, this still makes for a fast & fun read with some real surprises to the storyline! Can‘t wait for #3!

Second in series, Mallory, a modern-day Edinburgh homicide detective who found herself transported back to Victorian Edinburgh (in a housemaid‘s body) following a brutal attack, is once again assisting her employer Duncan (a doctor/medical examiner) and a police detective when a string of men (seemingly unrelated) die by poisoning. Could it be the work of a Poisoner‘s Ring consisting of their wives? I would call this book average (as its 🔻
